“…High and low amounts of piperitone (27.1%) and pulegone (4.6%) respectively in the seeds oil demonstrate a characteristic metabolic pathway in M. moaffarianii in which piperitenone could highly be metabolized to piperitone rather than pulegone. As literature survey there were just two reports on the essential oil composition of the leaves and aerial parts of M. mozaffarianii [3,5]. A comparison of the results with the literature showed that the seeds oil composition was so similar to the leaves oil composition reported by Arman et al [3].…”

“…That is because both samples were collected from the same region in Hormozgan Province. Regarding the results reported by Arman et al [3], presence of piperitenone as the main component in the seeds and the leaves oils of M. mozaffarianii is characteristic. However, the piperitenone content in M. mozaffarianii leaves oil was reported as two times more than that in the seeds oil.…”

“…It has a limited geographical range in the south of Iran and is just found in Siyahoo, Qotb-Abad, Damtang and Sikhoran in Hormozgan Province [2]. The leaves and seeds have been commonly used in Iranian traditional medicine as antiseptic, analgesic, and to treat painful menstruation, dyspepsia, arthralgia, fever, headache, common cold, and healing wound [1][2][3]. Literature survey revealed reports just on the essential oil composition of the leaves and the aerial parts of M. mozaffarianii and there was no attempt to study the essential components of M. mozaffarianii seeds up to now.…”

The seeds essential oil of the endemic species <em>Mentha mozaffarianii</em> growing wild in the south of Iran was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Charac-terization of individual components was performed using a commer-cial mass spectrometry library, and 25 components were identified. This analysis showed the presence of 3 volatile components, including piperitenone (35.6%), piperitone (27.1%) and 1,8-cineol (10.7%) as the main components.

Mentha suaveolens Ehrh. (Lamiaceae) Essential Oil and Its Main Constituent Piperitenone Oxide: Biological Activities and Chemistry

2015

Since herbal medicines play an important role in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, there is a growing need for their quality control and standardization. Mentha suaveolens Ehrh. (MS) is an aromatic herb with fruit and a spearmint flavor, used in the Mediterranean areas as a traditional medicine. It has an extensive range of biological activities, including cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypotensive and insecticidal properties, among others. This study aims to review the scientific findings and research reported to date on MS that prove many of the remarkable various biological actions, effects and some uses of this species as a source of bioactive natural compounds. On the other hand, piperitenone oxide (PO), the major chemical constituent of the carvone pathway MS essential oil, has been reported to exhibit numerous bioactivities in cells and animals. Thus, this integrated overview also surveys and interprets the present knowledge of chemistry and analysis of this oxygenated monoterpene, as well as its beneficial bioactivities. Areas for future research are suggested.
